10 year reunion
This whole 10 year reunion thing is really sticking in my craw for some reason. I don't know what it is about it, I've been talking to my mom about it a little, whether or not I want to go and all of those things.
It's strange, I don't really talk to anyone I went to high school with anymore, occasionally I'll run into them around town, it's always weird and stilted and I never know what to say to any of them. I was a bit of a loner in high school, I had friends but they were the sort of friends you had classes with, you ate lunch with them and then you went home at the end of the day and that was about it. I didn't really do that whole party thing, or spend much time with people out side of school, I've always been closer to my family than other people.
It was easier getting close to people once I went to college. I started figuring myself out and what I wanted and the kinds of people I wanted to be friends with.
I had much closer friendships with the people I went to college with, though even with them I don't really talk to them much anymore, because I am such a significantly different person today than I was in college let alone in the ten years since I was in high school.
The girls I spent most of my time with are all married now, every single one of them, more than half of them have kids now, some as many as 3. And I just I look at their lives and I look at my life and I'm not sure even knowing each other ten years ago would be enough to really get me talking to any of them again. I mean they'll be all, these are my kids, and I'll be all 'Oh I hate kids', and they'll be all hey this is my husband, and I'll be all 'Oh I like chicks sooooooo no husband for me.' And that's the other thing, I mean maybe I grew up in Austin, and sure we like to call ourselves a little sea of blue in an otherwise red ocean, but this is still Texas. And I was kind of painfully repressed christian back in high school. I don't think anyone would actually say anything, but yeah.
Yeahhhhh I'm probably thinking too much about this, but yeah, it's been on my mind since I keep getting notices from facebook about things.
